PLEASE BE THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS
Oct 23, 2006
Focus: Human Rights
Action Request: Petition
Location: Australia
Please help these refugees in Australia who are being held in conditions much worse than those in many prisons - these people are refugees, not prisoners.  They are being treated like the inmates in Gitmo......

They need your help desperately.....it takes 30 seconds out of your life to sign a petition, and yet that 30 seconds may make the differences between freedom and a living "hell" for these people....

The current conditions in Australian Detention Centres are appalling. "Detention centre" is really a euphemism that makes these concentration camps sound relatively harmless, like school detention.

In reality, they are as draconian, dehumanising, punitive and humiliating as prisons, and in many ways worse:

Please sign the following petition to help the REFUGEES.....
